Mother-in-Lost

Freda is getting worried. Her husband Bernie walked out of their house earlier that day and hasn't returned. At 9pm she goes to her local police station to report a missing person.

While she's giving details to the officer in charge, she gives him a photo of Bernie and says, "When you find him, could you please tell him that my mother didn't come after all. She decided she would stay the week at my brother's house instead."
